The Knights of Malta are possibly the island’s most famous ever inhabitants. Steeped in tradition and history, their rule over the country was as eventful as it was dramatic.
And it is exactly that sort of combination that makes the Knights Spectacular show one of the things you simply have to see while in Malta.
This two-hour musical epic centres on the events of the Great Seige in 1565, when an Ottoman armada of 40,000 men was defeated by the sheer determination and resolve of Malta’s vastly outnumbered knights.
Featuring a cast of 50 performers, eight impeccably-trained horses, spectacular costumes and an original musical score – the show includes everything from live battles to dance routines to a thrilling love story.
Housed in a purposely-built arena on the Montekristo Estates, the Knights Spectacular show has been watched by thousands of foreign and local patrons over the past couple of years and has now cemented its place as one of the island’s must-see attractions.
